How to Care for a Hawaiian Volcano Plant

Overview

Hawaiian Volcano Plants are the creation of Hawaiian Sunshine Nursery, and can be an anthurium, rabbit's foot fern, shefflera or any number of other plants growing on a piece of volcanic rock from the Big Island of Hawaii. These plants are easy to care for and add a touch of the tropics to the indoor environment.

Step 1

Place the Hawaiian Volcano Plant in a saucer or dish.

Step 2

Place your Hawaiian Volcano Plant in a well-lit area but out of direct sunlight.

Step 3

Pour one-half inch of water over the rock and allow the excess water to remain in the saucer. The lava acts like a sponge and will absorb sitting water. When you see that there is no longer water in the saucer, pour the same amount of water over the rock again.

Step 4

Fertilize the Hawaiian Volcano once a month with a water-soluble houseplant fertilizer, diluted to one-fourth the strength listed on the label. Pour the fertilizer solution over the rock as you do when watering.

Things You'll Need

Saucer or dish

Water-soluble liquid houseplant fertilizer
